data varible of type P with length 11

[Former Member]

is it possible to create a variable of type packed decimal with size 11.

ex: var(6) type p decimals 2 will create var with lenght 12.

My requirment is to print a value of size 11 with 2 decimal points.

Hello,

Check this

DATA f(len). 


Additions: 
As in variant 1 



Effect 
Creates field f with the length len. 
You can only use this variant with type C, N, P, and X fields. Fields with other types can only be created in their default length (see table under "Effects" of variant 1). 


In an ABAP Objects context, a more severe syntax check is performed that in other ABAP areas. See Wrong length specified in declaration. 

The maximum permitted length of a field depends on its type: 

Type  Permitted length 
C     1 - 65535 
N     1 - 65535 
P     1 - 16 
X     1 - 65535 


Note 
Each byte can store one character, or two decimal or hexadecimal digits. In a P field, one half-byte is reserved for the plus or minus sign. Consequently, a P field with length 3 can contain up to 5 digits, while an X field with length 3 can contain 6. Both have the output length 6. 

SO u can declare like this.

data: var(11) type p decimal 2.

If useful reward.

I defined a field var1 of type p(6) with decimals 2.

ex: var1 contains 123456.23

I need to move this value into another character field or any field of length 11,

but the value should be right justified and should contain 2 decimals places and it should contain leading zeroes.

or is it to possible to define a variable of type p with length 11. ( it should accomdate 11 digits including 2 decimals.

ex:12345678.11

try this..

report  zpdata                                 .
data: var1(6) type p decimals 2 value '123456.23',
      var2(11),
      var3(11) value '00000000000'.
write var1 to var2.
replace ',' in var2 with space.
write var2 to var2 right-justified.
overlay var2 with var3.
write: / var1.
write: / var2 right-justified.
